A list of real HUBs

This page tells you which devices are hubs and which aren't (read also: What is a HUB?).

Many of vendors mark their products as "HUBs", but in fact these devices are "Switches".

Because of this confusion, you need to check your HUB model with the below list to see, if it is a real HUB or not.

In general, if you find something with "full-duplex" in the device description, this is in fact a switch and not a hub. This is often the case with 100Mbit Ethernet devices.

If you have a 10MBit HUB, and it's stated to be a HUB, it will be a HUB.

Only devices, that are real HUBs, are convenient for recording voip calls.
